Not only are image posts less accessible, they're much lower effort. This community was much better when it was just structured jokes as text posts. Now it's getting posts with the less than pointless "rule" crap and it's slowly becoming yet another s#%$post community and losing what made it special.

it's nice when the title text is setup to a joke, with the content (text or image) being the punchline. I personally try to come up with my own punchline before checking the description, so the format really works out.

This is the best form of this community, imo. I still think images are bad even in the post body, but at least it'd stem the meme-ification of the posts. The main problem I see building is that image posts are easy and popular on the front page, where votes are given regardless of community, and it won't take much attention seeking to leave this community a shell of what it was.
